AN Adventure in India.
From the Lahore Tribune.

About month ago two planters were
riding through the Nuainaluka Tea Gar
den in the Terai. The sun was just set
ting, but it was broad daylight. They
were going at a fast trot, when suddenly
out jumped tiger from the tea, and
made for them. The pace they were
going at caused him to miss his spring,
and he landed on the road Just behind
6. W. HIS pony. In their fright the
ponies jostled, and G. w. H. was slight,
ly delayed.
The tiger made another spring, but
the pony iibbed, and he lit beside the
pony instead of on it, almost touching
G. w. HIS boot. G. w. II. took off his
tepee, shook 1t in the tigers face, and
shouted-never mind what he shouted
it may have been one of DIR. Watts
hymns-but it startled the tiger, and the
pony, encouraged by the human voice
or getting suddenly over his temporary
paralysis of fright, bolted as hard as il
could. The tiger made yet another bu
half-hearted sort of spring, but my
friends got off safe. I have heard many
tiger stories, but never before of a tigel
attacking Europeans on horseback IL
broad daylight, and that too without any
DrOyOCatiOn.

The Fall OF Ogila-Sa.
From the St. James Gazette.

We blush for Ogila-Sa, "better
known as Red Shirt, the Chief of the
Sioux" When that noble savage was
presented to Mr.. Gladstone he be-
haved with digniied courtesy, Of
course; but he stuck to the truth with
stern simplicity. The great white
chief asked him, as representative Of
the whole civilized world, whether he
did not think the relations Of Englan
and America were excellent; but Red
Shirt declined to be drawn" But
the republican of the woods was con-
quered by royalty. When the Queen
spoke to him he was all smiles, and
unblushingly said, through the inter
terpreter, that he had come all the
way from his wigwam in the wild West
on purpose to see her majesty. After
that wedo not wonder that Red Shirt
strobe abruptly away" Perhaps it
was his first attempt at saying the
thing which is not, and that for g.
grown man must be confusing. The
real fact is, Of course, that Red Shirt
has come to this country because Col.
Cody gives him so much g. week and
his "keeD."

Safety from Malaria.

The most vigorous constitution, and the
strongest physique are not proof against dis
ease the germs of which impregnate the air we
breathe and the water we drink The true pre-
parative, the surest defense, is to fortify the
system with a medicine which possesses
specific virtues as safeguard and remedy.
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is precisely this
artcle-proved by conclusive tests to be So.
Not only on this continent wherever miasma
gives birth to the malarial infection, but in the
tropics, where fever and ague assumes its most
malignant types, this incompatible, popular.
and deserving medicine has, for over a third OF
a century, shown it's efficacy. Chills and fever,
dumb ague, bilious remittent, alike yield to
its influence and are prevented by it. The word
fail" has no place in the lexicon Of possibilities
when this peerless article is used. 1t tones the

The Drugs that Druggists Sell.

FrOL- he New 4orK WorlQ
The disclosures of the World g inves-
tigation as to the purity of our drugs
and medicines, are unfortunately not
as reassuring as were our inquiries in
to the alleged authorizations OF New
York's TODD and liquors. Indeed, DR..
Loves report of careful analyses of
samples, secured in all sections of the
city, is practically an Indictment OF
the professional honesty of some Of
our pharmacists. While comparative
ly few actual authorizations were dis
covered, it was found that nearly
40 per cent. of the drugs tested were
below the standard. Some Of the
samples were absolutely worthless,
having lost all medicinal virtue
through long keeping or improper
preparation. This IS O. very serious
matter, for On the efficacy of drugs
human life often depends. 1t is essen
italy a crime to fill physicians pre-
scription with impotent and worth
less connections. The health author
